Worktop repair at your home in Manuden
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and chips near the sink, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood alike.

Manuden questions
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
When to call us in Manuden
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
